The danger of live blogging
Mesh represents the first time I’ve truly ‘live blogged’ an event. I’ve learned a few very interesting things in the process.
- It’s a great way to take notes and kick off a conversation
- When you record your thoughts in a stream-of-conscious method, you can sometimes miscommunicate or forget to review some of your initial thoughts that have evolved
The opening paragraph of my blog on Michael Geist’s session (Michael Geist: Digital advocacy is the new normal) is one of those paragraphs that needed to be revisited. Michael’s session was loaded with new examples of digital advocacy in many disciplines, and featured a great list of pointers for successful digital advocacy. What I had meant by overlap of content is that there is a common thread in Michael’s presentations — which is a good thing if you’re presenting on a common theme.
Michael, I owe you a beer.
